[quote=Anonymous]There aren't very many kids who leave the centers for the highly gifted or the middle school and high school magnet programs. Many of them have to adjust to the workload and having to work harder than before, but they seem to manage. I don't think there are a lot of kids in the programs who aren't able to do the work. In MoCo there are many fewer slots in the programs than applicants and that may be part of what's going on. I think the tests are pretty accurate in some ways - a kid who does well on them is smart. There may be some kids from disadvantaged backgrounds who don't perform up to their potential, but there shouldn't be many kids in the programs who can't handle it.[/quote]
